EJP - The fatal flaw in the system?

An interesting read, but I don't think half the things you're worrying about are actually worth being bothering by. As far as I'm concerned, there's no great secret behind the EJP mechanism, nor are there serious and long-lasting repercuss...

Very nice idea! Nice expansion of a sadly underused game mechanic. From what I've come to understand of the game's structure so far, anything new seems to be within the scope of Rarebit's development abilities (or those of whoever he broug...

Few questions

Correct me if I'm wrong (seriously; I'd love to hear some good news), but I don't think SI Radio so much as glances at MxO these days. And does Catzi Radio still not have a Web site, blast it?

Well Here it is folks......Last monday of the year.

I can't think of any resolutions as everything's going swimmingly. Apart from my health, but that's sadly out of my hands. Erm... Oh, I don't know. Play TF2 more often? Check e-mails more frequently?

M'mm, good stuff! My only suggestion would be to allow the min level on the clothing database to go up to 50, so if I want to search for only level 50 clothing I can bung 50 in both the min and max boxes.

Cypherites and Machinists
